Ke Xue: The Truth Is Exposed, Let Kisaki Eri Beg For Forgiveness

East of Mihua City.

In the early morning, Kudou Shinichi left home.

When Kudou Yukiko saw his son Kudou Shinichi, he immediately stopped him:

"Shinichi, where are you going?"

"I made an appointment with Officer Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department. There is a case waiting for me to solve!"

"But you didn't eat breakfast!" Kudou Yukiko said angrily.

"It's too late. Where can I find bread in the Metropolitan Police Department?" Kudou Shinichi sighed.

"Bread is not nutritious, you must finish your breakfast before leaving!"

When Kudou Shinichi heard his mother's fierce tone, he knew that there was no hope of rushing to the Metropolitan Police Department in advance.

"Okay!" Kudou Shinichi sat at the table, eating the breakfast made by his mother Kudou Yukiko.

"Shinichi, how much do you know about Shiraishi Gen?"

Hearing his mother Kudou Yukiko's question, Kudou Shinichi didn't think much and asked: "What's wrong, mom?"

"Except for academic matters, I know Senior Shiraishi Gen quite well!"

"What kind of girls do you think a boy like Shiraishi Gen would like?"

Kudou Yukiko couldn't help but ask, thinking of Shiraishi Gen's teasing with her that day in the art museum.

"Do you think Gen Shiraishi would like a gentle and docile girl like Xiao Ran, a cheerful and lively girl like Sonoko, or some other type?"

Kudou Shinichi:11

"Mom, what are you thinking about?"

Kudou Shinichi was speechless and wanted to complain: "How do I know what kind of girl Shiraishi Gen-senpai likes?"

Kudou Shinichi has a very clear understanding of Shiraishi Gen's reasoning ability, conduct and character.

However, he needs to figure out the girl Shiraishi Gen likes.

That's really embarrassing for Kudou Shinichi, a straight man.

"You regard Shiraishi Gen as your opponent, and you don't even know what kind of girls your opponent likes. How do you understand him?" Kudou Yukiko asked.

"As an opponent, you shouldn't understand this, right?"

Kudou Shinichi said speechlessly: "I am only interested in the cases solved by Senior Shiraishi Gen and his reasoning ability. I am not interested in knowing about other issues in his private life!"

"Then take a guess?" Kudou Yukiko asked.

Kudou Shinichi: "???"

Mom, are you trying to introduce someone to Shiraishi Gen-senpai?

Suddenly, Kudou Shinichi instinctively came up with a bold idea.

"How smart, Shinichi, you are right, mom just wants to introduce Shiraishi Gen-kun to you!"

Kudou Shinichi is right, Yuki 24ko really wants to introduce someone to Shiraishi Gen.

Unlike her husband, Kudou Yūsaku encouraged Kudou Shinichi to regard Shiraishi Gen as a rival.

Kudou Yukiko hopes even more that Kudou Shinichi and Shiraishi Gen will become friends without any conflicts or conflicts.

Otherwise, if the two become opponents, harm will inevitably occur.

Yukiko didn't want to see his son Shinichi get hurt, so luckily he came up with a good way.

She came to introduce Shiraishi Gen to her, and introduced girls of the right age from her mother's clan to Shiraishi Gen, making Kudou Shinichi and Shiraishi Gen brothers-in-law.

This way you can avoid conflicts between the two people.

Again.

Shiraishi Gen is so awesome.

As a world-class academic genius!

If Shiraishi Gen can become a relative with her, future doctor Shinichi will also benefit.

The question is, what kind of girl does Shiraishi Gen like.

She didn't know why, but when she thought about the day Shiraishi Gen said she had big breasts and no brains, she felt that her parts were being targeted by Shiraishi Gen.

That guy, could it be that he is in control of the game?

An association occurred in Yukiko's mind, but Kudou Shinichi's expression became even weirder.

Introducing someone to Shiraishi Gen, that is, Yukiko can come up with such outrageous ideas.

Mom, please stop messing around. Senior Shiraishi Gen is studying academics, so how can he think about falling in love?

Kudou Shinichi had no choice but to persuade him tactfully.

"How is it impossible?" Yukiko retorted: "You are busy solving cases all day long, aren't you still in love with Xiao Ran?"

Talking about Xiao Ran, Kudou Shinichi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth when he thought of Xiao Ran's cute face.

But the smile immediately faded away. For some reason, Xiao Ran was a little cold to him recently.

Maybe because he was busy with the case, he ignored Xiao Ran's feelings. When the Togashi Xiongan case was solved, Kudou Shinichi planned to accompany Xiao Ran.

"Okay, if you want to introduce someone to Shiraishi Gen-kun, just introduce him!"

Kudou Shinichi said helplessly: "Anyway, my relationship with senior Shiraishi Gen will not change!"

"It's not up to you to change or not. I talked to Shiraishi Gen last time. He was very polite and kind. You two can become friends!"

After Kudou Yukiko finished speaking, he expressed the guess in his mind:

"Shinichi, do you think Shiraishi Gen likes girls older than him?"

Generally speaking, boys are obsessed with their mothers, especially for people like Shiraishi Gen who have lost their parents, and they are more eager to be taken care of by older girls?"

Kudou Shinichi: "????"

Cough cough cough cough!!!

Kudou Shinichi suddenly coughed violently, with a smile on his face!

He felt that if Gen Shiraishi was here, it would definitely be a black line.

"I have to say that this is indeed possible, for Senior Shiraishi Gen!"

"You go and introduce your partner to Senior Shiraishi Gen. I won't stop you. I'm leaving first!"

It was a complete waste of time to discuss this kind of topic with his mother, Kudou Yukiko. Kudou Shinichi took the opportunity and ran away with a piece of bread in his mouth.

When I was leaving, Officer Megure just called me.

Kudou Shinichi's eyes narrowed and he immediately asked:

"Have you found the hotel where No. 3 and 4 Fujian Xiongan live based on the area shown on the invitation letter for sea fishing in Xiongan, Fujian?"

“Brother Kudou is really good at predicting things!”

On the other end of the phone, Officer Megure said in surprise:

"Through the area on the sea fishing invitation letter, we have found the hotel where Togashi lives in Xiong'an in Ota District on the east coast."

"Which one is it?" Kudou Shinichi said: "Send me the location!"

Officer Megure transmits the mobile phone’s location display to Kudou Shinichi:

"We have arrived at this hotel, do you want us to send someone to pick you up?"

"No, I'll take the tram and observe the journey along the way. Maybe I'll find something!"

Kudou Shinichi rejected Officer Megure's proposal and took the subway to East Ota.

This is Kudou Shinichi's habit of taking the murderer's perspective and digging out clues from the smallest details.

Maybe the murderer of the case has taken the subway before, and there will be some clues along the way.

Entering the subway, Kudou Shinichi got on Car No. 1. He found no clues and no accidents. Everything in the car was normal and crowded.

Kudou Shinichi closed his eyes and calmed down.

What he didn't know was that a week ago, Hiashihara was sitting opposite him.

It's just that Shiraishi Gen came back from the hotel, and he went to the hotel from home.

The two of them are like parallel rails, walking towards each other and going in opposite directions!

An hour later, Kudou Shinichi came to the hotel location given by Officer Megure and met with Officer Megure.

"Why is it a hotel and so shabby?"

Looking at the dilapidated appearance of the hotel, Kudou Shinichi instinctively became suspicious and replied:

"Officer Megure, are you sure Togashi Xiongan lives here?"

"I'm sure. The owner of the hotel said that a guest stayed in his hotel a week ago and then disappeared without saying goodbye. He didn't either!"

Officer Megure said: “It wasn’t until our Metropolitan Police Department came to investigate today and showed the hotel owner photos of Togashi Xiongan that he remembered that Togashi Xiongan lived there.”

"We have just retrieved the hotel residence record of Fu Jian Xiongan. The computer shows that Fu Jian Xiongan checked into this hotel at noon on the 3rd."

Kudou Shinichi looked at this hotel, his eyes narrowed, he shook his head and said:

"According to the files you showed me, Togashi Xiongan is a wealthy man with a high net worth. It is not consistent with his status that he lives in this kind of hotel!"

"This is indeed inconsistent with his identity!"

Officer Megure explained: "But brother Kudou may be a little unclear. The Ota area on the east side is remote and has been waiting for development. The ecology is relatively primitive. There are no hotels in this area."

“This hotel is the one with the best conditions nearby. It’s normal for Fujian Xiongan to choose this hotel!”

"Is the ecology of Ota District like this? It may be a mistake in my judgment!"

Kudou Shinichi admitted his mistake openly and said: "What is the reason why Togashi Xiongan comes here to fish?"

Officer Megure expressed his guess and said:

"Fujian Xiongan, as a wealthy class, may be tired of the well-maintained fishing areas, and prefers the original and natural environment!"

"It's possible, not to mention that Fu Jian Xiong'an is a lonely person, no one can guess his preferences!"

Kudou Shinichi said: "Go into this hotel and check out the situation!"

As a group of them walked into the hotel, they were immediately cut off from the cold easterly air and felt their bodies become warmer.

The hotel owner's name is Kyoko. She is a middle-aged woman, nearly fifty years old, with an average appearance and a somewhat fat figure.

Kudou Shinichi came in and showed his identity.

Unfortunately, the innkeeper is not a young girl studying, and is not interested in the name Kudou Shinichi.

"Okay, as long as the boss lady knows my name, I'm just here to investigate!"

Kudou Shinichi asked directly: 'Ms. Kyoko, are you sure you have really seen Togashi Yuan!

"I've seen it before. You policemen from the Metropolitan Police Department have just asked, and you still want to ask?" The boss lady was a little impatient.

"Yes, the case requires repeated consultation. Can you describe the scene when you saw Togashi Xiongan that day?"

"It was a very ordinary scene. The man walked into my hotel, gave me my ID to apply for check-in, and I opened a room for her.

"Can Togashi Yuan have the appearance and figure?" Kudou Shinichi asked.

"He is very tall and somewhat muscular. He is wearing a thick down jacket, a hat and a mask!" Boss Nian Kyoko said impatiently.

Kudou Shinichi narrowed his eyes and said: "Wearing a mask and a hat, do you mean you didn't see his true face clearly?"

He took out a photo of Togashi Xiongan and showed it to the proprietress Kyoko.

"It's so cold in the east, who doesn't wear a mask and hat when walking on the road?"

The proprietress took a look at Togashi Xiongan's photo and said, "Although I can't see his face clearly, it is very similar to the photo and there is no mistake. I have very good eyesight.

"Does the hotel have surveillance cameras installed? I want to see the surveillance cameras."

Kudou Shinichi doesn't believe this.

Especially since the boss lady was impatient, she was probably just coping with the situation.

"There is surveillance. I really convinced you, but you still don't believe me?"

The proprietress Kyoko cursed and retrieved the surveillance video of the day and showed it to Shinichi Koryo and the personnel of the Metropolitan Police Department:

"If you don't believe me, just watch the surveillance yourself."

In the surveillance video, Kudou Shinichi saw the scene just as the boss lady said.

Togashi Xiongan walked into the hotel lobby and asked for a room with the proprietress Kyoko.

What makes Kudou Shinichi feel pity is that this

The hotel's surveillance camera is older and the footage captured is not clear.

He could only clearly see Togashi Xiongan's body and shape, the style and color of the clothes he was wearing, and he could only get a rough look at his real face. There was nothing wrong with the facial contours of Togashi Xiongan.

"Why not update the monitoring equipment?" Kudou Shinichi stared at the proprietress Kyoko.

"It's free to update the monitoring equipment. Are you going to pay for it to be replaced by our hotel?"

The proprietress Kyoko seemed to have reached menopause and responded unceremoniously.

Kudou Shinichi suddenly felt helpless, as if a scholar encountered a soldier, and he couldn't explain the feeling.

"What do you think?" Kudou Shinichi asked Officer Megure and others: "Is the person in the surveillance video Togashi Yuan?"

"The height and body shape match those of Togashi Yuan, and the style of clothes on his body is also the same as the clothes found in the barrel at the crime scene!"

Officer Megure said: "Although he was wearing a mask and a mask due to the weather, you can still see the outline of his face clearly. It is undoubtedly Togashi Xiongan."

Kudou Shinichi was noncommittal and asked the landlady:

"I only have one last question, please be patient and think about your answer!"

"When I saw that Togashi Xiongan that day, a week has passed now. As a hotel owner, you have received many people. Why do you have an impression of that person?"

"Originally I had no impression, but when you people from the Metropolitan Police Department asked me to recall it carefully, how could I have no impression?"

Kudou Shinichi said seriously: "Please answer me carefully and think about the details. What is your deepest memory of those 953 people?"

The landlady was still a little impatient, but suddenly she was stunned and said:

"I remember, fishing tools, his fishing rod, I remember it was expensive, it was a big luxury brand."

Kudou Shinichi took a look at the surveillance video and saw that when Togashi Yuan entered the hotel, he was indeed wearing a pair of fishing tools.

"How can you recognize that it is a big luxury brand?" Kudou Shinichi asked.

“Didn’t you know that many people who come to Ota District are people who like sea fishing?”

The proprietress Kyoko said: "I also know something about sea fishing. It is the brand of Pure Fishing. A pair of fishing gear is quite expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it!"

Kudou Shinichi used his mobile phone to search for the brand mentioned by the proprietress, and found that it was indeed a big-name fishing gear company.

"Would you like to check the room where Togashi Xiongan stayed?" Officer Megure asked Kudou Shinichi.

"A week has passed, with so many guests coming and going, including cleaning by the hygienist, there will be almost no clues!"

Kudou Shinichi sighed: "But you still bring people to check, maybe you will miss clues!"

He didn't follow up to check because Kudou Shinichi didn't have any hope.

The time interval was too long, and any clues were broken.

Kudou Shinichi stayed in the hotel lobby, looking through the video footage of Togashi Xiongan leaving.

In the video, Togashi Xiongan left the hotel with fishing gear and ready to go.

The time is around 12 noon on the 4th!

According to the professional forensic autopsy report of the Metropolitan Police Department, Togashi Xiongan died between 12:00 and 18:00 on the 4th.

In other words, when Togashi Xiongan left this hotel, he was killed.

The timeline of this video basically matches the death timeline of the deceased Togashi Xiongan.

The video should undoubtedly be of Togashi Xiongan.

But here comes the problem.

Why was Togashi Xiongan killed?

Togashi Xiongan is a withdrawn person with no children, relatives, or even a lover.

He didn't make a will either. There will be people who want to kill him because of their own interests!

What's the murderer's motive?

Who is the murderer?

There is no doubt that Togashi Xiongan left the hotel and was killed by the murderer.

This murderer is likely to know the time of Togashi Xiongan very well.

He knows that Togashi Xiongan spent those two days fishing in the sea, and may know where he lives.

So this is probably an acquaintance crime!

Togashi Xiong'an's circle is not large. He is withdrawn and has basically no social circles except his work circle.

So we still have to go to Togashi Xiongan’s company and investigate his friends and acquaintances!

There is probably a real murderer among them.

"Brother Kudou, you are right!"

Officer Megure came down from the room and said: "No clues were found in the room!"

"Then let's go!" Kudou Shinichi stood up and left.

Where to go? Officer Megure asked.

Kudou Shinichi walked out of the hotel and said:

"Fujian Xiong'an's company is investigating whether Togashi Xiong'an has any close acquaintances, or whether he has anyone who has a conflict of interest with him!"
